Actions vs Links inside of Dropdowns

[langdonx]

With the idea that cursors now convey meaning (#21812), the dropdown documentation seems to need some love. The examples in the documentation refer to "actions" and "links", but each dropdown-item is just ultimately just an anchor (a link).

I'd be happy to submit a PR to improve the documentation (using a for links and button for actions with a small paragraph describing intent).

** Edited out link/button font nonsense that's already fixed.

I think ultimately I just need to bring back the cursor: pointer. We'll see how it goes in the first beta.

Oh man, don't give up... it's such a great paradigm!

Imagine a web where you know what you can Ctrl/Command-click to open a new tab that contains exactly what you're expecting, instead of having to try it out and discover that someone just hacked another anchor and you end up with a new page with either the same content or if it's a url that's still using hash bang, the root of the site. Same goes for Shift-click, middle-mouse-click, or any other way one might open a new tab or window from an anchor.

It's going to be an uphill battle educating people, but the reasoning behind it is so sound.
